      <![CDATA[Someone has to fit into skinny jeans.  Why bother making them if no one's buying?<br />
<br />
Also I agree with 18.  What is a hipster?  Someone who likes obscure music?  Someone who wears silly hats?  Someone who has money?  Someone who has no money?  Please tell me.

      <![CDATA[Overdone hipsters are obnoxious the same way that overdoing anything is obnoxious.  The "nerd" who wears nothing but anime and video game paraphernalia: obnoxious.  The emo/goth who wears spiky jewelry and morose face makeup: obnoxious.  The hipster who goes all out with the suspenders/ironic mustache/skinny jeans/stupid hat: obnoxious.<br />
<br />
That said, ripping on anyone who wears a flannel shirt or thick-framed glasses is just as idiotic as ripping on anyone for simply playing video games or for ever listening to metal music.  It's pretty normal not to devote all your mental energy to boycotting "all things [hipster/nerd/goth/hillbilly/etc]<br />
<br />
Hell, even the "overdone" people mentioned above are usually insufferable on their own, and their overdone fashion is a symptom rather than the reason.

      <![CDATA[Ahahaha, it is now possible to be hipster about hating hipsters. Man. It's nice that people have so much extra time and energy that they can devote it to sectioning up and selectively hating society based on fashion and pop culture preferences.<br />
<br />
@1, you sound fat.<br />
<br />
@3, come on, man, drop some n-bombs and show the world what you're really thinking. It's not like you're hiding it very well as is. If you're gonna be a racist piece of shit you might as well just own it.

      <![CDATA[the people your describing aren't hipsters anymore. Mars hill church kids look like that now; it's good to make fun of those people. Whats sad is the hipsters circa 1999 who couldnt resist the "cutting edge" sleeve tattoo look. Kinda like having a pair of first-wave wraparound  glasses surgically adhered to your scalp.

      <![CDATA[I wonder why they don't come out with a a similar game where you can stomp to death members of the hip-hop community like they do elderly people. I'm sure it is more acceptable to bash hipsters than people who are part of hip-hop culture because hipsters are so violent and hateful towards gays and women.  The lack of malice shown to people wearing jeans down to their knees, dredlocks,  gold teeth, baby phat and phat farm clothes, and hair extensions must have the fact to do with them being so pleasant to be around.
